…or whatever holiday you go for. My family was atheist and agnostic Jews who celebrated with presents under a Christmas tree so whichever for whomever, it’s all good.
If you’ve seen my FB updates, you know I bought myself a Christmas treat the other day; a new laptop to replace the dinosaur I had. Tip: if you don’t get points for using your debit card and your bank gives them, sign up! You get points even when you pay bills online. I used this latest lot for $120 of Best Buy gift certificates which I put towards the laptop, making it quite the bargain.
Anyway, in a timely twist, the very next day after buying the laptop, the power supply on my desktop computer died, rendering it useless until Tuesday when UPS delivers the replacement. In the meantime, I don’t have access to my calendar or running program, but that’s cool, it’s like living in the woods for a bit. With fancy technology. OK, not at all.
Tempo Run
Did this today: 9mi w/6@Half Pace. It was windless, cloudy and 32 degrees. The tempo portion was a bust, averaging 7:14s. Honestly though, I don’t care. I’m tired. Not sleepy tired or limb tired, just tired of caring so hard.
“Am I good this mile or bad this mile?” “Will I suck today or be fabulous today?” Enough, already. I don’t want to dread getting out for hard workouts and lately, I have come close. Of course, it’s exacerbated because I have a blog and choose to give you guys play-by-plays so when I do have bad runs I know I will have to say so. But during today’s run, a peace came over me to where I was all “Que sera, sera”. Because really…what else is there?
Let it unfold and work with what comes. That’s my new motto.
The Poll
Thanks to those who voted. The results were 84% for keep posting 3x/week, and the rest were “Don’t give a shit”, so I’ll keep on as normal, usually 3 times/week, but if I have nothing to say, I’ll hold off. Actually, thanks to those who didn’t vote, too. Your readership is super appreciated, always.

To you too, Christi!
Yay on the new hardware. I sometimes think of workouts as like movie good guys and bad guys. Sometimes the bad guys are more interesting, which is some compensation for their being bad.
Hah! I need to start thinking of it like that, at least you get something out of the sucky ones that way. Though I could use a few boring successes soon. Congrats on your’s today, matter of fact! :-)
Flo you crack me up. I was going to send you my Merry Xmas mass text but wasn’t sure if I should. Now I have my answer hah
You’re a little sweetie for thinking of me. Merry Xmas!!
